So far, innovation is missing watching new iPhone OS versions coming up. Yes, there is a lot of stuff for developpers to move on and build a stable business. But the technical innovation is low and does not reach standards at some areas. No video, no ful bluetooth support. No MMS until Summer, Copy&Paste will have to wait as well.

As Apple finally agrees to confirm: there is a proprietary chip in the new iPOD shuffle ear plugs. The reason is simple. If the chip is missing, you ain’t hear nothing coming out of the iPOD. Nice…for Apple. So all vendors being 3rd party and wanting to sell a “build for iPOD”-gear have to licence the chip…piracy needed!

Rumours are boiling up that an update on current iPhone 3G will include iChat technology pushing video calls. And changeable battery. This sound like Wow, the new car will have a seat. End still: This is a fake design and wishful thinking. Apple might come up with something quite different…and less.

Like everyone else I was pretty underwhelmed by Apples Keynote: DRM-free music, Sting as guitar tutor… yawn. Now that I’ve installed “iWork 09”, things brighten up a little. Everything is simple and deliciousely presented. W-Office still has a lot more features, but who need all that crap? After fooling around for an hour: Nice makeover, folks! But next time I’d really like to see innovation. And I’m not talking Snow Leopard.
